the third generation heir, Henry Auguste Hellouin, Marquis de Courcy, who
transformed the chateau interiors and grounds during the 18th century.
Upon the Marquis' death in 1791 and his sole heir killed
at Quiberon in 1795, the Chatrau was sold by adjudication. After changing hands
several times, the Gatellier family acquired the property at the end of the
19th century and are owners to this day.
